With the holiday seasons, the hustle and bustle of shopping and cooking for family and friends, the menu for the Fifth Sunday Dinner at the Holman Heritage Community Center has changed.

This Sunday, the volunteers at Holman felt that if people in the community were still eating leftovers from Christmas dinner, they needed a little change.

"We want to give an alternative to the holiday eating," Calvin Criner, director of the Holman Heritage Community Center, said.

Criner said that the change will give the volunteers a break from the holidays and allow them to cook for their families.

"Even though we will have different things, we will still have our favorites and the favorites of the people who visit us on each of the third Sundays and fifth Sundays,” Criner said.

The delicious salads, that the ladies prepare are still going to be there, along with vegetable soup and a steaming bowl of homemade chili, Criner said.

"We are also preparing chili dogs and chili pies for the children," Criner said. "We are going to have our popular cornbread and added crackers."

Criner added that there will be the popular desserts at this Fifth Sunday Dinner, such as, pumpkin pie, cream pies, pound cake, pecan pie, peach cobbler and sweet potato pie.

"Those desserts are freshly made by the volunteers at the center," Criner said. "The ladies are here early in the morning of the dinner preparing the meals."

All of the proceeds of the dinners go to the Holman Heritage Community Center, which provides programs to children, seniors and all residents of Stuttgart.

The Holman Heritage Development Corporation is a non-profit organization, consisting of former graduates of Holman High School as board members, for preserving the history and heritage of the Holman School.

Holman School was an educational facility that housed the education for black students in the days of segregation until 1970.

The all-you-can-eat buffet is $8 for adults and $6 for children. Parking is at the back of the school or on the sides of the school. For more information on the dinners or the center, contact Criner at (501) 804-2580.
